摘要:To determine the statue of the metallic trace elements contamination in the groundwater of Triffa's Plain (Eastern Morocco), the water of 34 wells were studied out through two sampling campaigns (June and November 2013 respectively). The results of the analyzes showed that the groundwater in the Triffa's Plain is heavily contaminated with metallic trace elements and that cadmium has alarming levels in excess of 7 to 83 times the WHO recommended limit for Human consumption.The intensive agricultural practices and the irrational use of fertilizers and pesticides are the main cause of this metallic pollution.
